Hey all,
I decided to upgrade my kernel and packages to the newest rolling release (6.5) as I was on 6.3. However, once I had ran "apt update" "apt upgrade" and then rebooted my system, I was met with tty1 and I have not been able to figure out why my gui isn't laucnhing. "startx" works but my mouse wont work with it and it's lacking functionality. I'm not quite sure what the issues is, lightdm is my current DE and I have considered maybe trying to switch but I'm also not entirely sure what the problem is. I have been checking lightdm logs, boot logs, etc etc but I'm not quite a pro at this and haven't fully been able to isolate the problem so I thought I would post here. I should mention I am running kali on baremetal (amd64) (my other partition is windows). My temporary solution is just to wait for new kali releases and hope it's fixed, until then I have been using the advanced boot options to boot into 6.3 where everything still works just fine. Once again the issue is simply my gui isn't working, all files and such are all still here, nothing else seems to have broke. I would be more then happy to provide logs or output of commands, any suggestions or ideas as to what the issue is?
